In the face of increasing climate volatility, the Brazilian agribusiness is seeking technologies that increase crop predictability, reduce agronomic risks, and protect productivity. Two innovative solutions are gaining prominence: VacStress, from Agrilife, and Arbolina, from Krilltech. VacStress acts as a biostimulant, signaling the plant to activate defense mechanisms and produce osmoprotectors, such as proline, essential for mitigating water, thermal, and chemical stresses. It creates a physiological memory that allows for faster responses to drought, heat, or water deficit. Tests on soybeans, corn, and beans indicate a productivity gain of between 2 and 3 sacks per hectare. Developed in partnership with the Belgian company Fyteko, it is patented and exclusive to Brazil. Studies are underway for coffee, sugarcane, fruits, and vegetables. According to Everton Molina Campos, partner and marketing director of Grupo Casa Bugre, “VacStress represents an advance in preparing crops for ...
